This weekend was a fun filled weekend in Tampa.  This is my first time ever going to the Tampa area and I must say, I’m not impressed at all.  Especially where I stayed, near the airport.  Very ugly, nothing to do, nowhere to go and the roads were very confusing.  On Saturday I went to Busch Gardens, and it is usually an ordeal trying to get into the park with my diabetes bag and all of the goodies inside of it.  Either, this security guard didn’t care or Busch Gardens in general did not care.  My bag included about 4 infusion sets, 2 reservoirs and a vial of insulin, extra...

It’s Monday and that means another recap of The Life of a Diabetic. I have not been posting very often, and it is mainly because of my new job and other things going on.  I have been extremely busy, but that is no excuse because I know all of you are busy also and that doesn’t stop you all from posting.  I have made a dedication to myself that I will continue to post on a daily basis.  Anyway, here is my exciting weekend. Friday after work, we had a company happy hour in north Miami, so I headed down there for a little bit.  It was really fun, because I was able to talk to...

Good morning and happy Monday to everybody.  I hope you all had a good weekend.  I know I sure did.  I did that thing called relaxing.  Friday night Amanda and I went to Outback for dinner because I had a free blooming onion coupon, so seriously, who can pass that up?  Over the last 6 months Outback has become my favorite restaurant because of two meals that I get every other time I go, and they are amazing.  Ok, not too much about them, but I do love them.  Unfortunately, my blood sugar did not like them very much because my bg went as high as 435.  I took out my site and could tell...

Man did this weekend fly by or what!  I don’t think that I got a single thing accomplished at all.  Friday started out with some high blood sugars during the day and some stress.  That’s why there was no Fired Up Friday last week.  I test drove a Ford Edge on Thursday night and fell in love with it.  I have wanted one of those cars for a long time and finally found the perfect one I was looking for.  It didn’t go so well on Friday when I tried to get the financing for it.  Since I have had a credit score, I guess dating back 7-8 years ago, I have had almost perfect credit, about...

Another Monday, another weekend recap. Not too much to recap today though, not a very eventful weekend.  I’m starting to like these weekends where I don’t really do anything.  Friday night after I finished up on a few client’s sites, I decided that I wanted to go to the casino again, but this time we went to a different one, (we have 3 nearby).  What a lucky night to hit the casino!  Amanda said that she wasn’t feeling lucky that day, so she didn’t really want to go, but of course I convinced her to go, good thing I did. Once we got there, we split up like we...

This weekend really turned into a busy one.  I had hoped that I would be able to relax a little bit, but that did not happen.  Friday started out with the Fired Up Friday post about the cost of diabetes testing strips.  That sparked a great conversation on Twitter with Allison from Lemonade Life.  This is exactly why I write those posts on Friday because I want to hear other people’s feedback, because just because I feel a certain way about something now, I may not have all the appropriate information I need to have that feeling.  In this situation, I took one road; the direct no beat...
